Diffusion capacity and CT measures of emphysema and airway wall thickness – relation to arterial oxygen tension in COPD patients

BACKGROUND: Decreased diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is associated with emphysema. DLCO is also related to decreased arterial oxygen tension (PaO(2)), but there are limited data on associations between PaO(2) and computed tomography (CT) derived measures of emphysema and a...
